Inkjet textile printing method and inkjet textile printing apparatus

Abstract

An inkjet textile printing apparatus includes a penetrant liquid storage tank, a textile printing colored liquid storage tank, and first to third flow passages. The penetrant liquid storage tank is configured and arranged to store a penetrant liquid that facilitates penetration of a textile printing colored liquid into a fabric. The textile printing colored liquid storage tank is configured and arranged to store the textile printing colored liquid. The first flow passage connects the penetrant liquid storage tank and a first nozzle together. The second flow passage connects the textile printing colored liquid storage tank and a second nozzle together. The third flow passage connects the first flow passage and the second flow passage together and forms a flow passage for supplying the penetrant liquid to the second nozzle.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An inkjet textile printing apparatus comprising:
 a penetrant liquid storage tank configured and arranged to store a penetrant liquid that facilitates penetration of a textile printing colored liquid into a fabric; 
 a textile printing colored liquid storage tank configured and arranged to store the textile printing colored liquid; 
 a first flow passage that connects the penetrant liquid storage tank and a first nozzle together; 
 a second flow passage that connects the textile printing colored liquid storage tank and a second nozzle together; and 
 a third flow passage that connects the first flow passage and the second flow passage together and forms a flow passage for supplying the penetrant liquid to the second nozzle. 
 
     
     
       2. The inkjet textile printing apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an additional textile printing colored liquid storage tank configured and arranged to store an additional textile printing colored liquid that is different from the textile printing colored liquid; 
 an additional second flow passage that connects the additional textile printing colored liquid storage tank and a third nozzle together; and 
 an additional third flow passage that connects the first flow passage and the additional second flow passage together and forms a flow passage for supplying the penetrant liquid to the third nozzle. 
 
     
     
       3. The inkjet textile printing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a volume of the penetrant liquid storage tank is larger than a volume of the textile printing colored liquid storage tank.
